I saw her in the morning as she flew in on the wind
C G
Sweeping down from the mountains, out across the plain
D C
Flying in, my pure white dove, she landed in my hand
G C G Em
She was giving me a message that I tried to understand
C G Em G D G C G C
She was giving me a message that I tried to understand
[Verse]
G C G
Well, her voice was pure and simple, though something sounded wrong
C G
For my ears had grown accustomed to a different kind of song
C
And as she brushed against my face, she looked me in the eye
G C G Em C
She said "Follow me my traveller, I will teach you how to fly"
G Em G D G
"Follow me my traveller, I will teach you how to fly"
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
G C G
Fly on my precious bird of peace and show me what you must
C G
Show me all those promises that crumbled into dust
D C
I do not doubt your honesty, your gentle heart is pure
G C G Em C
But I weep for your innocence and the pain you must endure
G Em G D G C G C
I weep for your innocence and the pain you must endure
[Verse]
G C G
And as we flew across the land, she slowly lost her flight
C G
And the sun lay down in sympathy and gave way to the night
D C
But guided by a distant star, she found the strength to fly
G C G Em C
And leaving me behind her, she vanished in the sky
G Em G D G
Leaving me behind her, she vanished in the sky
